Rules

DegenRank is a public leaderboard for crypto projects. There are no ads, no API keys, and no revenue share. You pay to stand above everyone else. Rank is the bid — nothing else.

How ranking works

  • New listings are whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. You pay the equivalent in SOL or USDC — the SOL price is locked for 5 minutes when you create your bid.
  • Bids already on the board keep their amount until they raise or get outranked.
  • Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
  • Enter the same website or @handle again to raise that listing to any rank. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference.
  • App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.

What you can list

  • A crypto project website, or an X @handle.
  • Crypto projects can optionally add a logo (upload or image URL), their token's contract address (CA), and a chart link — Dexscreener or pump.fun only. All three are shown on the board.
  • Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar. The board is for projects and profiles, not group chats.
  • Links to sexual content are not allowed. If it is porn, NSFW, or an adult platform, it does not belong on the board.
  • Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.
  • Link shortener URLs are not allowed. If you submit one, it is replaced by the URL it redirects to.

After you pay

  • Your listing goes live only after your payment is confirmed on-chain. Payments are plain SOL/USDC transfers on Solana, verified transaction-by-transaction — there is no custom smart contract.
  • Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you submitted, without query parameters.
  • 10% of every payment is allocated to buying back and burning $RANK. The counter on the homepage shows how much has been burned and how much is pending, with links to every burn transaction.
  • No refunds. All payments are final. A completed payment is what claims the rank.
